Chapter 323

Although dozens of headlights were lit in the Liangyi Hall late at night, they still seemed dim and deserted.

Yang Guang sat alone in the dragon chaise on the platform, wearing a purple gold crown and a long robe of Zhu Xuan. His hands, which were gathered in his sleeves, were holding a small warmer.

"What urgent matter should I go to the palace to see me? You should know that I have ordered the word "confinement" before. If it is not a very important matter, he will be punished when he enters the palace this time." Yang Guang's voice was not loud, but the empty palace still heard clearly.

Gao Zhen is over 60 years old and has a white hair. He looks like a thin country rich man. At this time, he is wearing a purple official robe and holding a memorial in his hand, and quickly walks under the platform.

After performing the great ceremony, Gao Zhen raised the memorial in his hand and said tremblingly, "I am guilty of disturbing Your Majesty's rest. This is actually a matter of urgent matter. I dare not delay it for a moment, so I immediately rushed to the palace to meet the saint."

"What's the big deal?" Yang Guang said distractedly. Pei Yun had just had such a big deal. He guessed that Gao Zhen came to plead for mercy or attack Chen Kefu. Anyway, it must be for the assassination of Chen Kefu.

Gao Zhen lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, someone is going to rebel!"

After saying that, Gao Zhen secretly glanced at Yang Guang, thinking that Yang Guang would be shocked by his opening words that had been thinking hard all the way. Unexpectedly, he was disappointed when he saw it. After hearing this, Yang Guang was unmoved at all, and still kept warming his sleeves, without even frowning.

He thought Yang Guang didn't hear it clearly, so he became more busy and he became a little more excited. "Your Majesty, I rushed into the palace. Because someone was going to rebel, I came to report to Your Majesty!"

"Well! I already know this!" Yang Guang nodded, "Gao Qing's family is here, is it here to kill relatives for justice?"

Gao Zhen was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and kowtowed a few times and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not have any kinship with Chen Ni."

"Chen Ni? Which Chen Ni? Isn't Gao Qing here to sue Pei Yun and Yuwen Shu for rebellion?" Yang Guang was also confused by the new censor, not understanding why another Chen Ni was brought out. Could it be Chen Kefu?

"Your Majesty, I want to impeach the Liao Dynasty Duke Chen Kefu when he was guarding Liaodong, and he arbitrarily changed his official positions and established an official system. According to the laws of the Great Sui Dynasty, the official system is arbitrarily changed, and the official system is all for the crime of treason. I am here to impeach Chen Kefu's crime of treason. Taking advantage of this person's current situation, he happened to capture him and arrest him in case of release from the tiger to the mountain."

Yang Guang smiled in his heart. As expected, Gao Zhen came for Pei Yun's affairs. But he didn't expect that he would play the trick of surrounding Wei to save Zhao. He sneered twice. If Gao Zhen could not tell the story of Ziwu and Yinmao today, he would use the newly appointed censor to kill the chicken to warn the monkey once.

"You are talking about how Chen Kefu established the official system, but what evidence is there?" Yang Guang said unfairly. According to the system, the officials of the Censorate all the right to impeach all officials. They do not need evidence to impeach officials. As long as they hear some news, they can impeach them. The next investigation and evidence collection and trial will not be under their jurisdiction. Therefore, the officials of the Censorate are also called censors, and they are people who can not be convicted for their words. However, Yang Guang has never had a good impression of the censors, let alone at this time he has determined that Gao Zhen and Pei Yun were in the same group and colluded.

"Your Majesty, when Chen Kefu was staying in Liaodong, he changed the military system of our Great Sui Dynasty. He changed the 80,000 troops into squads of the military division brigade battalions, and set up new positions such as commanders and division commanders. These military positions are unprecedented in our Great Sui military system. He acted like this, which was actually a crime of treason. Please ask Your Majesty to immediately arrest Chen Kefu and convict him of treason."

Yang Guang snorted and said unhappily, "I already know about this. Chen Pojun had already submitted a memorial to explain the matter. It was said that at that time, there were only 10,000 troops and horses in the Pojun camp, and there were not enough troops. According to my order, more than 60,000 civilians were recruited into the army. Because of the informal organization, it was changed to temporary organization to facilitate unified command. Facts have proved that Chen Pojun's actions were correct. Not only did he seize the Liaodong city with 10,000 people, he finally pacified Liaodong. If you can pacify the Eastern Turks, I will also ask you to change it, what?"

Gao Zhen had already discussed with Pei Yun in detail when he came. He first made this matter aside. It was not that he didn't know that Yang Guang already knew, but that it was just that he did it on purpose. After pretending to be frightened, he said, "I really don't know that Lord Chen has already reported to His Majesty for changing the military system, setting up new military positions, and establishing military ranks. It was my mistake and almost wronged the loyal minister. I really didn't expect that such a change would have such a great effect. No wonder the Liaodong Army still has military ranks now, and every time it has to hold a rank award ceremony so grandly. I heard that the soldiers of the Liaodong Army no longer regard the official positions given by the court as regular, and the army is ranked according to the military rank. No wonder, no wonder Yang Guang said a little doubtful, "What is the military rank that my dear friend said?"

Gao Zhen pretended to be surprised and suspicious, "This military rank is a new thing when the military system was changed. No matter who the lieutenant generals originally lived in, they only judged the military rank in the Liaodong army. I heard that Chen Kefu's original military camp was of the fourth rank, except for Chen Kefu, Li Benlei and Li Jie were both from the fourth rank, and the remaining seventeen fifth rank generals. However, among the 17th rank generals, Chen Kefu's subordinates led by the throne were higher than the rank generals brought by General Li Jie. Even Chen Kefu's subordinates who were originally from the fifth rank or even the sixth rank were higher than the rank generals of Li Jie's subordinates. In the army, they were as fifth rank, but they could only be under the rank of sixth rank. General Lang had to obey the orders of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of

Gao Zhen said a lot, but Yang Guang clearly heard what he meant. Chen Kefu used the military rank he set up to assign his subordinates, ignored the ranks of the generals appointed by the court, and instead used military ranks to judge the position. So a strange phenomenon of the sixth rank commanding the fifth rank. Hearing this, Yang Guang couldn't help but think about it. The official system of the court had been customized.

The purpose is to demonstrate the authority of the court. If a general and official do this with Chen Kefu, then where is the authority of the court? Wouldn't it become the Zhou royal family during the Warring States Period, but it is just an unnecessary thing?

"You said that the Liaodong army is still using military rank?" Yang Guang said coldly.

Gao Zhen was secretly happy, and finally said that the emperor was in his heart. He nodded quickly and said, "That's true. The Liaodong army still uses military ranks. All Liaodong soldiers will be awarded military ranks after one month of joining the army. Each promotion requires a fundamental military rank promotion. There is a tradition in the Liaodong army that special ranks will be held. There is no two long strips of military rank nailed on the shoulders of the armor. The Liaodong army calls military ranks an official seal. They do not look at the size of the military rank, but only the ranks on the shoulders of the soldiers. I heard that even soldiers will retain military ranks after they have been discharged from the army.

Yang Guang was getting more and more unhappy as he heard it, and his face became heavier. "Do you know the specific level of the military rank?"

"I asked, the highest one was the rank of Shangtou, with lieutenant general, major general, and brigade general,

Colonel, lieutenant, major, captain, lieutenant, warrant officer, sergeant, sergeant, corporal, corporal, private. The highest general is, the lowest private. Chen Kefu's rank is the general, and he is the only one in the Liaodong army, and the enlisted soldiers are the lowest private. The rest of the rank is the second lieutenant, the brigade commander is the lieutenant, and the infantry captain is the captain. Moreover, it is said that in the Liaodong army, whether it is the distribution of food and salary allowance or the division of land, they are all divided according to the military rank, not by the official position."

"Enough, needless to say. Is this what you are going to say?" Yang Guang said impatiently.

Gao Zhen nodded, "This is what I want to impeach. The official system is formulated by the court. How can it be established by a certain general? If it is temporarily added during the war, it can be explained. But now the Liaodong war has been pacified for more than a year, and the Liaodong army still uses this set of military ranks and does not report to the court. This is a contempt for the court. This is ironclad evidence of his attempt to hold on to his own troops and seek rebellion. Please check it out."

Yang Guang took over the memorial and said with a dark face, "I already know this, don't tell the rumor for the time being. I will deal with it myself, please step back!"

When Gao Zhen left the hall, Yang Guang grabbed the memorial in his hand and tore it to pieces. He took a few steps forward and shouted loudly, "Come on, I'll tell you that Chen Kefu's words are coming in to see me! I want him to arrive right away!"

An in-law next to the hall responded quickly and turned around and went out of the hall to deliver the order.

Yang Guang was walking around the hall with his hands on his back. At this time, he was full of anger. He was so angry that he had just been assassinated by Pei Que and Yuwen Que. He was very angry. However, he wanted to cut Yuwen Que first, and Pei was in the first place, and Yang Guang didn't care much about the reactions of the two families. But when he heard Chen Kefu's military rank, he was extremely angry.

In Yang Guang's opinion, he did not treat Chen Kefu at all unfairly. Some of them were full of favors from the king and a kind of kindness of understanding between the king and his minister. He gave him a favor in the slightest moment, and he still valued him regardless of Chen Kefu's secret life experience. It was his promotion and promotion again and again,

How many people in the Sui Dynasty have received such treatment?
